IDK why there is a sudden jump in the environment as we age.
Like till 18-20 we expect people not to communicate with the opposite gender and once you’re 21-24 you’re suddenly expected to get married and bear babies.
I’m 21 and suffering from early life crisis. So many dreams about travelling abroad and following passion but I don’t go out in the fear that random people will give my parents advice about marrying me off to a stranger (Happened to me once when I was 19). My parents are open minded but these people have extraordinary convincing skills so you never know.
I sometimes feel like the previous generation is jealous seeing us all free and happy so they want tie us down because they have suffered the same fate. Man, in my 21 years of existence, out of 1000s of couples, I found only 1 couple happy and rest are just miserable and existing.
I can relate. I’m 23. Constantly told by random people that I need to get married. I don’t know why people have such a problem that a girl/guy is single while theyre in their 20’s. Let them live life the way they want.
Just like your parents, mine are very open minded, thankfully. So I’m never pushed or forced to get married. I’m always told I can marry when I feel like I’m ready.
People are so nosy. And quite honestly, I’d say screw them. You should live your life the way you want. You shouldn’t live in fear because of what people will think or say. People are always going to talk. That’s something that will never change.
I was so scared of stepping out and being able to live because of people’s eyes always prying upon what I was up-to. Eventually I stopped caring and listening to their crap and I just recently began to travel.
You should do what makes you happy. Life is short asf. Don’t listen to others. Have a conversation with your family. Tell them “hey. I’ve been wanting to talk with you about me. I want to…” I’m sure they’d be more than happy to listen and support you.

It’s so true. Some people/relatives tend to make our life miserable. Idk if they intend to do it or they have grown in such an environment where they are stuck with their old thoughts.
